Ravens 18, Lions 16: Justin Tucker’s 61-yard field goal with 38 seconds left lifted Baltimore
over host Detroit last night in a matchup with major playoff implications.

Ravens rookie safety Matt Elam sealed the victory with an interception — Matthew Stafford’s
third of the night.

Stafford threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Fauria with 2:21 left, putting Detroit ahead
16-15. But the Lions were unable to make a two-point conversion and couldn’t prevent Baltimore from
setting up Tucker for his sixth field goal of the game and 33rd in a row.

The Ravens (8-6) are in control of an AFC wild card following their fourth straight win.

Detroit (7-7) has hurt its playoff chances by losing four of its past five, falling out of sole
possession of first place in the NFC North to third place behind the division-leading Chicago Bears
and Green Bay.

Hip injury could keep Browns’ Haden out

Cleveland Browns star cornerback Joe Haden said a painful hip pointer could keep him out of this
week’s game against the New York Jets.

Haden was injured in the third quarter on Sunday when he was hit by Chicago left tackle Jermon
Bushrod on a running play. Haden had to leave the game, and without Cleveland’s top defensive back
on the field, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler rallied Chicago to a 38-31 win.

Haden received treatment at the team’s facility yesterday. He said it’s too early to speculate
about his status for Sunday’s game.

Source: Incognito to sit out rest of season

The playoffs might pay off for Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito, even from the
sideline.

Incognito will remain on the NFL’s suspended list with pay for the rest of the season, including
the playoffs, a person familiar with the situation said.

The person spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the bullying scandal
that led to Incognito’s suspension remains under investigation.

Coach Joe Philbin declined to comment, but the Dolphins released a one-sentence statement saying
the team and Incognito had agreed to “maintain his suspension” during the investigation. Incognito’s
agent didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Incognito was suspended on Nov. 3 in the wake of the bullying scandal involving tackle Jonathan
Martin. Incognito filed a grievance Nov. 14 against the Dolphins seeking to rejoin the team, but
later withdrew it.

Bengals’ Huber has broken jaw, vertebra

Cincinnati Bengals punter Kevin Huber suffered a broken vertebra as well as a broken jaw during
a 30-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night.

Huber was hit by a blindside block from the Steelers’ Terence Garvin during a 68-yard touchdown
return by Antonio Brown. The Bengals initially announced Huber had a broken jaw, but an MRI that
night showed the broken vertebra.

Kicker Mike Nugent took over the punting duties for the Bengals on Sunday, but the team plans to
audition possible replacements.

Redskins’ Shanahan: no plans to resign

Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan says he has no plans to resign.

Shanahan said it’s “accurate” that he doesn’t plan to quit after what will be his third losing
season in four years with the team.

Shanahan said that his fate won’t be determined until he and owner Dan Snyder talk about the
direction each wants the team to take.
